Streets of Rogue: Shapeshifter [12/?]

[@misterStevePikk]

You really gotta talk to people more. When you were possessing a cop in a building full of other cops you had to take out, you could just ask all of them to leave town and because you're their friend they would all listen to you

[@BirdRaiserE]

I've been holding this critique in since the Crepe episode

[@svend8409]

You can also ask allies for key/safe code/quest item.

[@punkypony5165]

Thank you for posting this.

Came here to say this. Talk to people NL. Please.

[@iami3rian394]

Just watched today's NLSS on twitch. NL, MALF, Austin and Josh played SoR, and it was amazing. NL today is INFINITELY better than he played in this vid. It's like night and day.

I was absolutely betting on that being posion- that was so funny.

[@gokuss15]

Hey NL, did you see that “ask to leave town (100%)” over the cop? That was a speech check that was literally impossible to fail. You don’t have to fight everybody.

[@marcoluciani4790]

Egg please, when people are friendly towards you you can *ask* them to leave town, so you don't have to kill them. This is how a Shapeshifter clears 90% of their Neutralize quests...

[@PleasantWhale]

Agreed, he needs to slow down, take a breathe, and observe all his options. Instead of rushing through the levels, grabbing no loot, and solving everything with, "punch."

Yeah but Egg is one punch man, it's in his nature to fight

[@Scarthcaroth]

Pretty much everyone already mentioned it but NL really needs to get out of the habit of thinking that he needs to play every playthrough as if he's in the race to be the best murderhobo in the world, especially if he's playing characters that don't rely on needing to use violence to accomplish their goals.

[@iami3rian394]

I'm not sure if your upset about constant killing or constantly rushing, but either way (or both) you're right.

[@CmdrCorn]

I think there's a parallel reality where Egg is a MurderHobo

"I do wish we had some sort of stealth kill setup" You do when possessing a cop. The handcuffs. Can't use it against other cops, but it's good to know.

[@iami3rian394]

He forgot "R" opens the character sheet, so he doesn't know the cops special. Not knowing the special is forgivable. Not knowing the controls, or for that matter checking the controls, is not.

My dude wasn't kidding when he said that he was going to pretend the previous run didn't happen

[@matthewknight388]

Try to get people to fight each other as the shapeshifter. Attack them as a cop to get cops to declare war on them when you get hit back then jump out. That sort of thing. Once they have all killed each other you step back in and loot.

[@answer8006]

Quick Tip: You can talk to aligned people and tell them to give you key items. As well as telling neutralize targets to leave town instead of killing them.

[@PleasantWhale]

1. NL please, just loot. Yer gonna keep running into walls and dying if you're not looting and selling stuff to get gear and money. 2. 0:49 Only cops attack you. Please Ryab.

NL is not that hard -yellow laser? Beep boop no harm -red laser? Kaboom shot it at range

[@pasty609]

Asking him to differentiate two different colours on the fly is too much

You can also walk up next to them and hit the use key to disarm if you have a wrench in your inventory. Might be able to do it with less than 100% odds without the wrench? Not sure.

[@zendokii7922]

I'm loving this series soooo much. Just as much as i did with Slay the Spire! Edit: Thanks for getting me into this game, its such a good game with a lot of potential. Also consider more options like asking people to leave town as shapeshifter, not everything has to be solved by punching people.

[@matttondr9282]

NL putting on a poison and a health regen at the same time is so classic..

[@jeremyblack1929]

This series has the classic northern lion problem, where he just doesn't have the patience to be thorough or careful in cleaning levels. It just isn't his style, so the game gets progressively harder as he plays but isn't seeing anything wrong with what he's doing.

[@iami3rian394]

Don't worry, he posted a tweet asking for help and literally 98% of the posts were slow the heck down, including Mathas. He definitely got the message, we just need to wait out this current batch of bad runs.

[@iami3rian394]

Also, worth mentioning, his NLSS run today was impressive. He's definitely a lot better.

[@williammitchell6254]

Still fun but you really need to talk and buy more things, dying with 400 dollars is a waste.

NL, a tip about the shapeshifter: If you are in someone's body, you can't be hurt! Every time you jump out of a body and wander around without a meat shield, you are only putting yourself at risk!

[@calebwade7627]

Shapeshifter made for a hilarious episode! This is probably my favorite series besides Mario Maker rn!

[@fallouthirteen]

So is there any reason to ditch bodies early or is this another example of NL does something wrong for no discernible reason? Like they act as extra armor and cops don't automatically hate him when he's possessing someone.

It isn't, and he isn't. I have both red/green and blue/green and even I can see the difference. Incidentally, for whatever reason Cobalt is faking being color blind. I've known two other people who faked it, and I'll never know why, but he pretends he can only see in black and white until he forgets he's supposed to pretend to be color blind. Also, not being able to see ANY colors (if that's even possible) would be so incredibly rare, and he's be so incredibly light sensitive he'd have to wear sunglasses to sit in front of a computer screen, and no I'm not kidding I've had to do that for work several times.
